Jeff Linder has SDSU 23 in his latest poll, and Eden Laase has SDSU as 25 in her poll

A Fairfield assistant coach, Blake Dudonis actually went to bat for SDSU on Monday regarding votes. An AP voter tweeted it out saying he's been voting for the team.



and some mid-major coaches engaged in a NET conversation on Tuesday.

DuDonis tweeted something out about the NET being biased toward p4's and suggested things need to be tweaked to get the best possible 68 teams in. He retweeted a video from a JMU presser. They played against Ball State in a game between the top 2 teams in 2 diff conferences (SunBelt/X challenge), and Ball State lost and moved up 2 spots (51), and JMU stayed the same (53)

The Belmont Associate HC (Jamey Givens) then put this out along with the video (same video from DuDonis tweet above)

Givens added this, "We have a double digit head-to-head win over a team, more quad 2/3 wins than them, and no losses outside q1 and q2 and are somehow ranked 5 spots below them?"

Good to see. I think a strong conference tournament should keep us in the top 25 here on out. Hoping this helps bump us up to a 7 seed at least in the NCAA tourney. God forbid, safety net for an at large is definitely there this year.

Any seed but the dreaded 8-9 seed is great.

You would think that but I went through the AP Top 25 teams ranked 15 through everyone receiving votes and the rank kind of correlated with the seed for most of the power 4 schools but not any of the non power 4 schools. I used chremes bracketology.

of the 20 teams I looked at 6 schools were seeded 2 lines lower than what there seed should be if you went strictly off rank. 5 of this six were non power 4 schools

15 Maryland 5 seed should be 4 seed -1
16 West Virginia 6 seed (4 seed) -2

17 Baylor 5 seed (5 seed) -
18 Tennessee 5 seed (5 seed) they were a 4 seed -
19 Alabama 4 seed (5 seed) +1
20 Kansas State 4 seed (5 seed) +1

21 Oklahoma State 7 seed (6 seed) -1
22 Florida State 6 seed (6 seed) -
23 Creighton 8 seed (6 seed) -2
24 Michigan State 6 seed (6 seed) -

25 South Dakota State 9 seed (7 seed) -2
26 Louisville 7 seed (7 seed) -
27 Richmond 9 seed (7 seed) -2
28 Mississippi 4 seed (7 seed) moved up to a 4 seed +3

29 Utah 7 seed (8 seed) +1
30 James Madison 12 seed(8 seed) -4
31 Iowa 6 seed (8 seed) +2
32 Fairfield 12 seed (8 seed) -4

33 California 8 seed (9 seed) +1
34 Georgia Tech 9 seed (9 seed) -

Not sure what Charlie Chreme sees in Ole Miss for them to not be ranked in either poll but be a high enough seed to host the first two rounds.

I also understand rankings are just one of many metrics used to seed the field but not real surprising the only schools getting “worse seeds” than their ranks are small school.

I think Charlie Creme does roughly zero research for the bracketology.
